Event Diary

Corporate

Commercial partners engage with Leander Club and our International and Academy athletes for brand and relationship-building purposes.

As our story to 2018 and Leander’s Bicentenary unfolds, partners and other corporate clients are enjoying opportunities to entertain customers at Henley Royal Regatta and campaign events, or to row with our athletes.

Media

Leander delivers rowing athletes for Team GB. Twelve Leander athletes won medals in Rio (out of GB’s total of 26), retaining GB’s position at the top of the rowing medal table and bringing Leander’s total Olympic medal tally to 123.

The Club’s successes at both GB and Academy levels, together with various ongoing campaign events, deliver news stories throughout the year.

St Patrick’s Day Dinner 2018

Join us for an evening of food, drink and the craic as we celebrate St Patrick’s Day at Leander and (temporarily) paint the Club green! It is also the final “super Saturday” of the Six Nations rugby championships, so why not also watch the rugby with us (particularly England v Ireland, kick-off at 2.45 pm) ahead of the best of Irish festivities and hospitality with a Shamrock dinner and home-made entertainment to mark St Patrick’s Day.

Dinner is 7 pm for 7.30 pm, priced at £45 per head (including welcome drink), and the dress code is “relaxed”, but preferably party frocks and including something green (so do dust off your leprechaun hat). We will be led by popular local band Highly Strung, led by Henley rowing personality Ian Desmond, and all are encouraged to be ready to join in the singing. Party pieces will be led by local broadcasting personality Mike Read and all are welcome to contribute, perhaps with a reading or a joke!
